About Phaltan Education Society's College of Engineering

Phaltan Education Society's College of Engineering is a prominent technical institution located at Survey No. 31 in Shrimant Shivajiraje Nagar, along Kurawali Road at Thakurki in Phaltan Taluka, Satara District, Maharashtra. The college regularly serves as an examination center for online state entrance tests (like MHT CET), national competitive engineering/banking exams, and computer-based recruitment drives. The campus is spread across roughly 15 acres and features standard computer labs, biometric identity check-in counters, candidate waiting areas, and backup diesel power generators to handle local electricity outages. Located in the quiet outskirts of Thakurki along Kurawali Road, the surroundings are calm and free from heavy urban noise, allowing candidates to concentrate during their test. Basic stationery points, small tea stalls, and local print shops are available near the campus entrance for printing admit cards or getting quick snacks. For major lodging, hotel stays, and varied dining options, candidates are advised to head toward the main Phaltan town area (about 4 to 6 km away).

How To Reach Phaltan Education Society's College of Engineering

Comprehensive location and transport guide

Nearest Airport

  • Nearest Airport: The primary commercial airport with frequent flight operations is Pune International Airport (PNQ), located roughly 110 to 120 km northwest of Phaltan. Most outstation or interstate candidates fly into Pune Airport and complete the remainder of their journey via a direct intercity highway taxi or an MSRTC state transport bus down to Phaltan.
  • How to Reach: From Pune Airport, you can hire a private intercity cab straight down to the campus in Thakurki via the Pune–Saswad–Jejuri–Phaltan highway route. Alternatively, for a budget-conscious trip, take an airport shuttle cab to the Swargate Bus Stand in Pune and board a direct MSRTC state transport bus heading to Phaltan.
  • Estimated Fare: A private taxi from Pune Airport directly to the college will cost around ₹2,500 to ₹3,500. An MSRTC bus ticket from Pune (Swargate) to Phaltan ranges between ₹150 and ₹280 per passenger.

Railway Station

  • Main & Nearest Railway Station: The closest rail connection is Phaltan Railway Station (PLLD), situated about 6 to 8 km from the college campus. However, passenger train frequency at Phaltan is very limited. The primary major railway junction on the main line is Lonand Junction Railway Station (LNN), located about 30 km northwest of Phaltan. Another major Option is Satara Railway Station (STR), situated about 60 km away. Candidates traveling from long distances by rail generally get off at Lonand Junction or Pune Junction and catch a connecting bus or shared taxi to Phaltan.
  • How to Reach: Upon stepping out of Lonand Junction or Phaltan station, you can find local state buses, shared passenger cabs, and auto-rickshaws waiting outside to take travelers to Phaltan town.
  • Estimated Fare: Hiring a private auto-rickshaw all to yourself from Phaltan ST Bus Stand or Phaltan town straight to the college gates in Thakurki will cost around ₹120 to ₹180. A shared cab or local bus seat from Lonand Junction to Phaltan costs around ₹50 to ₹90.

Metro Station

Metro Connectivity is Not Available in This Area

Bus Connectivity

  • Main &b Local Bus Stand: The primary regional transit terminal is the Phaltan ST Bus Stand (Central Bus Terminal), located about 5 to 6 km west of the venue in main Phaltan town. For local drops, the Thakurki Phata / Kurawali Road Stop or the Shrimant Shivajiraje Nagar Stop directly on the main approach road serves as the immediate neighborhood drop point. From this road junction, the college entrance gates are a short 3 to 5-minute walk (around 300 meters) inside the campus lane.
  • Bus Routes: If you arrive at the main Phaltan ST Bus Stand, you can board a local MSRTC bus or local shuttle van traveling along the Kurawali or Sakharwadi route that passes through Thakurki. Inform the driver or conductor to drop you off directly near the Phaltan Education Society Engineering College gate at Thakurki.
  • Estimated Fare: Taking a local city bus or a shared auto/tempo seat from the main Phaltan ST Bus Stand to the Thakurki campus gate costs around ₹15 to ₹30 per seat.

Local Taxi / Auto

  • Taxi/Auto Availability: Traditional street-hail auto-rickshaws and shared passenger tempos are widely available across Phaltan town and along Kurawali Road. Popular mobile app-based cab services (like Uber or Ola) are not operational in Phaltan, so hiring a regular street auto-rickshaw or reserving a local call-taxi from the bus stand is the most reliable choice.
  • Local Transport: Since the college is located right on Kurawali Road at Thakurki, the smartest and most direct way to travel on exam day is to reach the Phaltan ST Bus Stand, take a direct private auto-rickshaw or shared vehicle heading towards Thakurki, and get dropped off right outside the main campus gates.
